Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in men. Measures such as gleason scores and microvascular density (MVD) are well established indicators of CaP outcome. However, invasive procedures are necessary to obtain these measures. In this study, we seek to identify DCE MRI perfusion parameters that correlate with MVD using sophisticated image analysis and registration methods in order to establish non-invasive methods of assessing tumor outcome.
